TITITR3DAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1861
Tin: New Law Concerning Volt.'nteebb.—
For the information of volunteer companies
tliougliout the State, we copy elsewhere the Aet
of the last Legislature regulating the manner in
which such companies shall bo received by the
Governor for actual service. It would be well
for each corps in the State to acquaint itself fully
of its provisions.
The Star of tlie West Affair.
The announcement of the departure of this
vessel from New York with reinforcements for
Major Anderson, at Fort Sumter, turns out to
be entirely true. The arrival of the vessel at
Charleston, as reported in our despatch, is
proof conclusive of the fact. It appears that
she attempted to approach Fort Sumter yester
day morning, for the purpose of lauding her
reinforcements, when the South Carolina bat
tery on Morris’ Island opened a fire upon her,
and compelled her to retire. This is as far as
our despatch goes. Advices received yester
day by private parties state that the steamer
simply returned to her anchorage off the bar,
which position she held at last accounts.
The policy of the government in sending an
uuarmed steamer to Charleston, instead of a
vessel of war, was probably to prove by her
acts that her movements were only of a defen-
' sive nature, and that she meditated no attack
upon South Carolina. At least this is a reason
able presumption, and it is justified by the fact
that, notwithstanding the fttar of the Westerns
tress did not discharge a gun.
What will be the policy of the government
in the present posture of affairs, it is impossible
to say. As she claims the right of reiulorcing
the garrison at Fort Sumter without breaking
the status of peace, she will probably now,
siucethe peace has been broken, feel authorized
to land the reinforcements, and repel, if she
can, all attempts to prevent it. We sincerely
trnst, however, far as matters have gone, that
they will yet stop short of an effusion of blood.
3omc interesting reflections on the defences
of the harbor, and their ability to repel an at
tack, taken from the Charleston Mercury., will
be found in another column.
Probable Loss of a Government Vessel.—
Serious apprehensions arc felt in the Naval de
partment for the probable loss of the Levant,
which, at last accounts had left the Sandwich
Islands for Panama. She is nearly two months
behind her lime, audit is feared she has gone
down with all on board. We hope not.
Anderson’s Men.—A gentleman just return
ed from Charleston, states that but nine of Maj.
Anderson’s men were captured, while procur
ing fuel for the fort. The fact was reported to
the Governor, who promptly ordered their dis
charge, with the liberty of returning to the
fort.
Occupation of the Cuattahoochie Arse
nal..—A private letter received yesterday from
Bainbridge, informs us of the occupation of the
Ciiattahoochie Arsenal, situated in Gadsden
county, Florida, at the junction of the Flint and
Chattahoochee rivers, by the “Quincy Guards.”
The Arseual contains 500,000 rounds of musket
cartridges, 300,000 rifle cartridges, and 50,000 lbs.
of gunpowder. There are no arms, except such
as are necessary to defend the property against
ordinary contingencies.

The committee to whom was referred the
busiuess of cominuuicating with the Commis
sioners from Alabama and South Carolina, re
ported that they had performed that duty, and
that the Commissioners were now ready to
communicate with the Convention.
The Commissioners were then eondneted in
to the Convention, and the President addressed
them, as follows:
_ _ ^ ^ ^ t ^ Gentlemen, Commissioners from South Caro-
thns run up on Alabama. It is understood that and Alabania:—As the organ of the sover-

Indeed, we believe he lias authorized the sale
of the guns as soon as possible.
I know of no one of my name, recently con
cerned in the purchase of arms for the State of
Georgia but myself; I am, therefore, led to be
lieve that I am the individual referred to in that
extract from your paper; if I am not, you will
please do me the justice to say so; if I am, you
will allow me to put yon right, and the Mont
gomery Mail, whose editorial you quote. Whilst
I jnstify myself in the matter referred to, I need
only to sav : First, that my transactions in the
purchase of arms for the State of Georgia, were
confined to the months of April and May last.
Since that time I have not benight any, have not
thought of buying any, have not offered to buy
any, apd have not had any offered to me, for the
come.
In the great struggle iu which we are all en

to give and receive mutual encouragement and

Editor Savannah Republican: Sir—Knowing
from reading your paper, (being a subscriber to
it,) that you take a deep Interest in every thing
pertaining to the South, and also that you are
well able to give the Information 1 wish to ob
tain, I write to know the facilities that Savan
nah or Charleston, or both, will afford southern
merchants by the 20th February, proximo, for
purchasing such general stocks of goods as
may be needed throughout .the country, ex
cepting all articles manufactured in those
Northern States that refuse cither directly or
indirectly to enforce “the fugitive slave law.”
I have, heretofore, bought, ahsostrentirely in
am determined to buy no
Imore goods th\.-e, nor in any other city located
I in any State, the i. ws of which nullify tlie Fed-
I oral laws, provided, that desirable goods can be
I purchased elsewhere on anythiug like favora-
' ble terms.
This, I think, is the course all southern mer
chants should pursue in buying goods, and con
sumers also, be particular not to buy northern
made goods,when they can buy those of home-
make. As a reply to ,thcsc queries, through
your paper, might be of great advantage to all
the South, I would suggest that method o*
replying, provided it please yon to make any.

A Republican Caucus over tlie Crisis.
A Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Times, writes on the 4th :
At a Republican caucus, held to-night, ninety
members of the House were present. Mr.
Howard, of Michigau, was Cba'rman, and Mr.
Colfax, Secret: ry. A proposition, made by Mr.
Sherman, that the Republicans should dis
courage all discussion of the political crisis,
and devote their time altogether to the Appro
priation b* lls, aud other necessary legislation, as
such discussion only tends to exasperate the
Opposition and divide Republicans, was adopt
ed. A resolution was adopted pledging each
Republican delegation to sec to it that their
.members are regularly present in the House, so
us to be ready for any emergency. The remain
members, with a probability that they may pro
pose it as a compromise measure, to wit: Tin
re-establishtnent of the Missouri Compromise
line, the Territory North to be all, with the ex
ception of Kansas, organized under one Terri
torial Government excluding Slavery; the Ter
ritory South to be free or slave, as the people
thereof snail choose, and Kansas to be admitted
forthwith. This met much opposition in the
■ vnd the present disposition is to reject
tiier, but tlie caucus adjourned without
: ng a vote, and meets again to-morrow.

'■Jditor Republiaan: — At a meeting of the
Quitrr.au Guards, held this day, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, Is*, That the cor 8 be plnced in a
sit ration ready to march at a moment’s warn

desolved.2nd. That we owe our first allegiance
to Georgia, and stand ready to assist in defend-
l ei .igbts and her honor, and if Georgia be

__ rve any Southern State that may be
attacked by Federal forces.
Resolved 2rd, Thatacopv of the foregoing res
olutions be for arded to Gov. Brown, of Geor

Secondly, in purchasing arms for the State of
Georgia, I acted under the instrnctions of the
Governor ; these were specific, as to the style of
arms to be bought, express and limited as to
the cost of each gu;., hence I purchased not such
guns as I prefered to buy, but such as I was
authorised lo buy, and in buying these, {he ut
most care and circumspection werg put in
requisition to procure the most serviceable arm
that could he bought, of such description,.and
at such prices. No one who understands tlie
subject, and will look at the bills rendered and
paid, and will inspect the arms purchased, will,
for a moment, question lira propriety of this
statement.
Thirdly, whilst purchasing arms for the State
of Georgia, I never saw one of the George Law
muskets, and did not dream of buying one at
any price, not because I doubted tlie efficiency
of those guns, but simply because they were not
indicated by the instrnctions under which I
acted.
Furthermore, I never have, at any time,
thought of buying, or proposed lo buy, Mr.
Law’s gnus at auv price whatever. The state
ment, therefore, that I “offered fifteen dollars a
piece for the lot(bought by Col. Powell for
Alabama,) “after they were purchased,’’ is
wholly untrue. If I am rightly’inforraed, Col.
Powell did not go on to purchase arms for Ala
bama, until last fall, at least four months after
my commission expired. Those who do not
understand the tricks of the trade, in arms, and
who shall notice the gross perversion of truth
in yonr editorial copied from the “Montgomery
Mail,” will be at a loss to known why it should
exist. W e who have looked into it, arc not
surprised.
You will oblige me by giving this a place in
your columns. I will be obliged also if the
“Montgomery Mail” will do as much.
Yen* respectfully yours,
Mark A. Cooper.
Comment.—As Major Cooper seems to hold
us in sonic sort responsible fora reflection npon
his agency in the purchase of arms for the State,
we take occasion to disclaim any such intention.
The language quoted in the slip is the language
of the Montgomery Mail, and we simply copied
it ns part of tlie news of the day, without ho’d*
ing ourselves in anywise responsible for its iu-
curncy.—Ed. Rep.
‘Our JTIilltary Strength and Weakue**.’
Under this heading the Charleston Mercury
maintains that the repulsion of a U. S. vessel
iu an attempt by the latter to enter the port of
Charlcsiou with reinforcements, will be the
“opening of a war with the United -States,” and
offers the following suggestions with regard to
the means necessary fora successful contest. It
is worthy of nole that the case supposed has
actually transpired :
In ormation has passed throughout the whole
country, from New Yo»*k to New Orleans, that
two hundred aud fifty men are ordered to the
Charleston harbor for the purpose of reinforc
ing the United States command at Fort Sumter.
What is our power to resist this act of war.
and what is our danger of failure in the attempt?
Fort Moultrie is directly under the guns of
Fort Sumter. We venture little in the asser
tion that its power to maintain a struggle against
Fort Sumter is quite inadequate. The attempt
will but make her a slauglitcr-pen of our best
cltizees. To what polut or points, and to what
power, are we to look for means of adequate
and effectual wnrfare nn«l defence ? Are our
redoubts on Morris Island, and on the cast
end of Sullivan’s Island, at this moment ad
equate for the complete protection ol' our
harbor against all attacks that can be made
npon us ? If not, will it be said that Fort
Moultrie can sink any vessel or war-
stermer that attempts to come under her guns ?
Granted. But what, if such man-of-war,
in attempting to enter our harbor, is brought to
by the balls from our redoubts ? What hinders
her from turning tail, and going again to
sea with her reinforcements ? Will we not have
opened war with the United States ? And will
not Major Anderson be empowered and com
pelled, us an officer of the United States Govern-
meut, to open fire on Fort Moultrie ? And will
he not do it ? And can he not entirely disman
tle her in forty-eight hoars ? Having com
pleted his work, what will hinder the said
man of-war from again entering our harbor, and
bearing her reinforcements to Fort Sumter?
Nothing, surely, but the strength of our re
doubts, and their ability to sink her. Are they in
a condition to do it, beyond a doubt ? We con
fess to have no accurate military imformation on
the point. It may be so. But if not, is there time
for delay? Five, ten thousand negro laborers
can, and could have been had. Should these
ioints not be made our chief reliance ? Two
uudred horses (which can g be had) can
remove a large body of cannon in a day.
Two or live thousrnd*laborers can throw up
a large embankment in twenty-fonr hours. Is
not this the time to do it ? Why shonld not at
least thirty cannon be placed nt the east end of
Sullivan’s Island ? It strikes us (not being
military men) that this is our point, and noi
Fort Moultri But if this is not sufficient why
cannot all of our channels, except Maflit’*
channel, be blocked up for the time being ? Is
it not worth it;rto tnaiutain our power ? Will it
cost money to remove hereafter such obstruc
tions ? To'be sure it will. But will it not cost
many valuable lives, if it is not done ? Uuless,
indeed, the redoubts we have spoken of are iu a
sufficient state of readiness to protect, beyond
a doubt, the harbor from all and any attacks by
sea. Will it not do more ? Will it not, for the
time, tie our hands, and virtually subject U9 to
the foreign policy and hostile power of the
United States Government ? *
‘Caucus.”—We observe a discussiou on the
derivation of this word, in a Macon exchange.
Perhaps the following extract from Gordon’s
History of tlie American Revolution, will throw
some light on the subject:
“This is a low word, less used of late than
formerly; and although its origin is not well
ascertained, yet it is reputed to have been first
brought into use in Boston, Massachusetts;
and it has been supposed to be a corruption of
calkers, or caulker's meeting,—a term applied to
electioneering meetings held in a part of Bos
ton where all the ship busiuess was carried on.”

Mr. Bulloch, (CoauniS&ooer from Alabama)
responded for liis State, in one of the most
able, logical, and satisfactory speeches we have
ever listened to, and closed in the eloquent and
patriotic language of Adams, “live or die, sur
vive or perish, sink or swim,” he declared in
favor of a Southern Confederacy, “Indepen
dence now, and independence forever.”
Mr. L. W. Spratt, (Commissioner from South
Carolina) followed. He presented documents
from the Convention of his State, and followed
them with an urgentfand patriotic appeal for a
union of the South in the establishment of a
Southern Confederacy.
The Hon. Mr. Ruffin, of Va., was called and
addressed the Convention.
The Convention then look a recess for an
hour; when they again met they went into se
cret session.
After remaining in secret session for about
two hours, the doors were opened to the pub
lic.
The preamble and resolution offered by
Judge McIntosh, on Saturday, and made the
special order for to-day, were taken up. Some
new amendments were offered, one of which
was to express the intention to secede as soon
as the State-s of Georgia and Alabama resume
tlieir separate sovereignty. The amendments
were voted down by a large majority, and the
preamble and resolution of Judge* McIntosh,
were adopted by—ayes 02. nnvs 5.” Tin* Conven

It is believed that the ordinance of secession
will pass on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Address of President McGehee to the
Florida Convention.
Upon taking the Chair, the President made
the following address:
Gentlemen :—I feel very sensibly the honor
you have done me iu calling me to preside over
your deliberations. Such a manifestation of
confidence and respect by the assembled
sovereignty of my State called together in such
a crisis—to consult together for the general
safety, deeply affects my feelings, and in return
I oiler all that is in mv power to give—the
homagefof a grateful heart.
I am entirely without qualification for the
proper discharge of the duties upon which I
now cuter. But I have long since determined,
with regard to myself, that 1 belong to my State;
my country—and never shall shrink from any
place assigned me iu her service.
Unaccustomed as I am to participate in the
proceedings ol deliberative bodies, I bring into
your service no qualification, save a willing
mind, and, i trust, an honest heart fixed and
fully determined to perform my duty with
entire impartiality, and I bespeak your kind
aid. indulgence’and forbearance.
Before I take this Chair, gentlemen, I ask you
to indulge me in a few remarks.
The occasion on which wc are called together
is one of the most solemn and important thae
ever assembled a People. Our Government—
the inheritance from a noble ancestry—tlie
greatest achievement of huraau wisdom, made
to secure to their prosterity the Rights aud Lib
erties purchased with their blood, is crumbling
into ruins. Every day and almost every hour
brings intelligence confirming the opinion that
its dissolution is at hand. One State—one of
the time-honored Thirteen, has withdrawn the
powers granted in the Constitution which con
stituted her a member of the Union, and she is
now from under the political power of the Gov
ernment. All our sister Southern States im
mediately adjacent to us arc at this moment
moving in the same direction, under circum
stances that render their action as certain as
any thing in the future. And as we look fur
ther and beyond, wc see the same swell of pub
lic sentiment, that a sense ol wrong always in
spires, agitating the great heart of the more dis
tant Slave States. And no reasonable doubt
can be entertained by tlie most hopeful aud
srnguine, that this excitement in public senti
ment will extend and increase, and intensify
until all the Suites that are now known as Slave
States will withdraw their political connection
from the non-slaveliolding States, unite them
selves in a common destiny aud establish
auother Confederation.
Why all this ? The story is soon told.
Iu the formation of the Government of our
FaLbers, the Coustitution of 17S7, the institu
tion of domestic slavery is recognised, aud the
right of property in slaves is expressly guaran
teed.
The People of a portion of the States who
were parties to the Government were early op
posed to the institution. The feeling ot opposi
tion to it has been cherished, and fostered, aud
inflamed until it has taken possession of the
public mind at the North to such an extent that
it overwhelms every other influence. It has
seized the political power and now threatens
annihilation to slavery throughout the Union.
At the South, aud with our People of course,
slavery is the element of all value, and a des
truction of that destroys all that is property.
This party, now soon to take possession of
the powers of the Government, is sectional, ir
responsible to us, and driven on by an infuriat
ed fanatical madness that defies all opposition,
must inevitably destroy every vestige of right
growing out of property in slaves.
° Gentlemen, the State of Florida is now a
member of the Union under the power of the
Government, soon to go into the hands of this
party.
A6 we stand our doom is decreed.
Under a just sense of impending danger, and
realizing an imperative necessity thus forced
upon them to take measures for their safety,
the People of Florida have clothed you with
supreme power and sent you here with the
high and solemn duty to devise the best pos
sible means to ensure their safety, and have
given you in charge to see that their common
wealth suffers no detrlraeut.
Your presence at this Capitol is the highest
proof that your people fear to remain under
their Government. With poignant regret no
doubt they leave it; but they have no ground
of hope ot safety in it. What are we to do in
fulfilment of our duty in this great crisis ? I
will not presume to indicate yonr course—
your superior and cellected wisdom must de
cide.
I cannot donbt though that our people are
safe in your hands, and that yon will in a man
ner becoming the dignity of the high position
you hold, and worthy ol the trust confided to
you, promptly placed them in a position of
safety above the power and beyond the reach of
their enemies.
As one of you, representing a noble and con
fiding constituency, I pledge to you and to
them the entire devotion of the powers of my
mind in the discharge of this duty ; and with
my full heart I ask you, each of yon, to forget
all former differences of opinion, all past party
prejudices, and make, now, here on the altar of
vour State, your country, for the sake of your
people, a sacrifice, nn offering of all feeliag,
prepossession or prejudice, they may stand in
the way of.perfect concord and harmony ; and
may the God of nations watch over us and
bless onr labors and guide us into the haven of
safety.

An Adjustment without a Compro
mise.
We take the following extract from an article
in the Boston Courier. It discards all idea of
a comproniise between the North and the South
ami proposes to settle their differences accord
ing to law. It is the speediest and most practi
cable plan of adjustment tJ:at_.Jias been nrooui**-
ed. The writer says :
“There is a tribunal established by the. Con-
stiluiiou of the United States lor tlie settlement
of all questions between Slates aud sec; ions, the
interpreter of the inter State law, sworn to rigid
impartiality in adjudicating between su ;h con
flicting interests as this contest presents It is
composed of men of the highest legal acquire
ments, of tried integrity, and whose lofty posi-
tioD' places them above local influeneef or
parttzau prejudices. Why should thev not be
arbiterrs ol the questions uefore us?" Should
any party or any State feel its pride sacrificed
in bowing to the decision of the Supreme
Court ?
“ I would propose that the committee of
thirty-three should fully discuss the demands
and grievances of each section—that each side
should state its case supported bv all the argu
ments that can be suggested by’its able advo
cates iu the committee—that the two cases then
be laid before tlie Supreme Court, for a com
plete decision upon the rights of the two sec
tions in all the points involved, and a recoin—
mendation tor such amendments to ihe Consti
tution, should any in tlieir opinion be required,
as may secure to all the States a full and equal
participation in tlie protection which goverrn—
ment is intended to eonl’cr This decisiou and
these amendments I would have laid before the
people of each State, for decision upon their
acceptance by a yea and nay vote, understand
ing that any State which rejects them, votes
herself out of the Union by that act. And, I
believe, were the issue so lairly presented, so
temperately considered, so carefully judged,
that not one dissenting State would be found.
But if there were—if taualieism and faction has
so demoralized the bean ot any State, that it
will, by the voice of a majority of its voters,
place itself iu direct rebellion against tlie Con
stitution, avow itself so enamored ol its own
conceit us to stand the open enemy of its sister
States, I wonld say, ‘let her go;’ I would cast
Iter out as au uuwortby associate, exile her as
no longer a fitting member of a civilized and
Christian brotherhood.
“ I believe this to be the only plan for bring
ing before the people the naked truth of our
position, divested of the cant of demagogues,
and the tricks of party management..”

Washington correspondent of the Charleston
Cknmer, telegraphing on the 7th instant, says :
“It is cnrrently rumored that Capt. Barksdale
has refused to give the apology demanded of
him by Garnet B, Adrian, of New Jersey The
difficulty between these two gentlemen arose
out of misunderstandings in the bent of debate
in Congress to-day. It is supposed that a chal
lenge will follow to-morrow, and that it will be
settled on the field. The friends of Mr. Adrain
allege that he fears a personal assault, and goes
protected to meet any emergency of this kind.”

Nashville Female Academy,
FounsroEr> isi6.
A FTER a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua-
ry, 1661, I resume my po ition as Principal of
this Institution, with which I have oeen connected for
21 years.
The Academy offers some particular advantage*,
among which, we think are the following :
1. A well enclosed Yard of about six acres, within
the incorporated limits of Nashville, thus affording Pu
pils unrestrained freedom In healthful recreation, and
still subjecting them to the restraints of a refined and
intelligent society.
2. Buildings in extent and suitableness, for all school
purposes, unequalled in the United States by any Fe
male School; and these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering constant inducements to children,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam ann lighted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupil* from at least one source of constant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled 1 i any Female School in
this or any other country. Though one of the largest,
ai’d a part of the time the largest, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all ncqu&int
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends his Daughter here,
perfectly uatisfled, that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied
that the principles of our common religion will be daily
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation which is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of piety and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision of the expen
se-. the morals, habits and health ot the Boarding Pu-
pills.
uuardians and parents, who for any cause, may be
seeking a permanent educational home for little girls,
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
